Glasses on the cheap

My son has gone through glasses like it was candy. I have finally found an affordable way to keep him seeing clearly. First I take him to Americas Best Contacts and Eyeglasses to see if there is one near you click Here. I can get an eye exam and two pair of glasses for 69$. I also get the warranty for breakage 10$ for one pair 15$ for two. I have used this warranty every year. But it does not protect against loss. Also a good friend of mine just told me about Zenni_optical. It is an online optical store where you can buy glasses for as cheap as 8$. Shipping is 5$ no matter how many pairs you order. You just need to know your prescription. They have some really cute/cool glasses for great prices. Happy Seeing!

Saving Money is no Accident

I went to yard sales with my kids on Saturday. My husband was helping the flood victims over in Austell and I wanted a place to take my kids. I took 20$ with me and by the end of the trip had .25 cents in my pocket and a bunch of junk in the trunk. I began thinking, why do I value junk over keeping my money in my pocket and saving for something I will actually use or need rather than stuff I just get rid of after keeping for a short time. I decided that saving was no accident. Rather to save takes discipline, strategy and motivation. I need help. What motivates you to save? What are your strategies? I know we could all use a little help.

We have a Winner

I loved all your ideas. I loved the idea of making your own soap. Very cool. I hope you will share how you do that. I would love a post on it that I can share. I needed the list idea and am putting it to work immediately. And yes I would agree that unrolling your two-ply is not worth it. But this week our winner is Marchet. She has a son with CF to learn more about it click here http://www.cff.org/ . I can't imagine what medical expenses that must include but I love how positive Marchet is and love the idea of saving money on prescriptions. I know that must help out tremendously. She will be receiving a basket filled with ideas and things to do with toddlers. Enjoy that sweet boy Marchet. Congratulations! We always welcome your money saving tips!
